MPMoviePlayerController doesn't play video frame ios7

Question

I am porting app from iOS6 to iOS7. There is a weird problem that makes the screen go black after the call from a button is being done. I have tried out this , this and this .

There is no apt answer and I don't feel theoretically there should be any problem in using the previous methods.

Kindly provide me some thread to why this problem is occuring.

Thanks

Answer 1

This can help Import MediaPlayer in your .h file

#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>

Make a property

@property (strong, nonatomic) MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer;

After that you can play video by this

-(void)playMovie:(id)sender
{
  NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:
  @"http://www.xyz.com/ios_book/movie/movie.mov"];

_moviePlayer =  [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
             initWithContentURL:url];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
               selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
               name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
               object:_moviePlayer];

_moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
_moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[self.view addSubview:_moviePlayer.view];
[_moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
}

After that for removing the video view add this

   - (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
   MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
    removeObserver:self
    name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
    object:player];

  if ([player
    respondsToSelector:@selector(setFullscreen:animated:)])
 {
    [player.view removeFromSuperview];
 }
 }

Add your movie player controller view on main windows like:

MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"map.mp4"]]; 

[player prepareToPlay]; 

[player.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];

AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

[appDelegate.window addSubview: player.view];

[player play];

Hope so it will work for you!

Try this way..

ViewController.m

MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp=[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[arr_videos objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]valueForKey:@"Video_path"]]];

MPMoviePlayerController *pc=[mp moviePlayer];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];

[self presentViewController:mp animated:YES completion:nil];
[pc prepareToPlay];
[pc play];
